Hopefully not too long to read reviews... however if I'm being honest, I only care about reviews from people that own other high end DAPs or setups who can write up a coherent comparison (which is why I like project86's reviews). I'm sure they'll be lots of happy ears once the reviews come in, but I need to know how this compares to the iDevice + transport options haha. The fate of my purchasing decisions rests upon it!
The price even at $829 isn't bad - what's a 64GB iPod Touch + Fostex HP-P1, or CLAS + an amp: the same or more and this is being aimed at the same market. In fact it's probably why iBasso have done their own player rather than do a Fostex or Cypher Labs - selling the first batch of these will have made them more money than selling the same amount of an iDevice supporting equivalent at the same price due to the licensing etc.
